The assailants are described as between 14 and 16 years old and wearing dark clothes at the time of the shooting.

"All these young guys out here that don't have anything to do with their time, you know, to bother somebody at their own residence and take something that was nothing, something needs to be done about it. I don't know if it's the parents. I don't know if it's the home. I don't know if it's the lack of things going on in the community that gives them nothing to do, but I just don't understand," the victim's daughter said. "Something has to be done about it."

A neighbor told WLWT News 5 that Tramble is well-known in the neighborhood and that he often spends time on his porch.

Tramble was shot in the abdomen and taken to UC Medical Center. Family members said they are hoping he makes a full recovery.
